Mashed Cauliflower with Goat Cheese
Cauliflower is high in Vitamin C and contains iron. Cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower have been shown to protect against some forms of cancer. Adding some potato to cauliflower helps it mash to a nicer consistency.
Loaded Sweet Potato Wedges
Sweet potatoes are a nutritional powerhouse, full of fibre and vitamins A and C. Serve our loaded version in place of fries, with chicken fingers, burgers or almost any other main.
Roasted Cauliflower with French Vinaigrette
Your turn to host the big holiday meal and you're tired of the same old sides? Try this easy cauliflower side dish, large enough for a crowd, but requiring very little prep.
Mixed Veggie Grill Basket
You'll need a grill basket for this easy vegetable side dish. You use the same bowl for all the prep so there is minimal clean up.

This is the first time in nearly 600 years that a Pope has resigned. And his resignation has come as a surprise for a lot of people, especially in the catholic church.
After hearing the Pope's big decision to step down, Father Joseph Scordo from St. Thomas Aquinas spoke about the Pope's resignation.
"He himself has recognized his declining strength and vigor and he himself also said that he doesn't think that he's physically up to the demands of the papacy and there are great demands," says Father Scordo. "It came as a surprise for all of us."
The Pope is 85-years-old and believes his time as pope has come to an end.
After his resignation, he plans to devote himself to a life of reflection and prayer.

Question: The Dodge Power Wagon has AAM 9.25 and AAM 10.5 axles and i'm trying to find differential covers that can take a beating for these axles. i heard that a gM 14-bolt cover will fit the AAM 10.5 axle. is this true? The only diff covers i have been able to find are aluminum. Can you help me?
Jesse Bulter
via firstname.lastname@example.com
Answer: We worked with Fab Fours (866.385.1905, www.fabfours.com) when we built our ultimate Adventure Rubi Wagon Jeep that was fitted with Power Wagon axles, and they made a great set of differential covers. The covers we got were prototypes and made from 1/4-inch steel plate, but i'm sure if enough people called and asked for some tough Dodge diff covers, they might go into production. by the way, the rear cover is different from the one on a gM corporate 14-bolt.
Question: I have a '77 Ford bronco, and I would like to add a lift kit to clear 36-inch tires. What would be the benefit to running a coilover system up front as opposed to replacing the current coils with taller ones? Would the coilovers be a better setup for running trails? i don't plan on running anything too crazy, but would like the option occasionally. I would also like it to be driveable on the streets although i have a tow rig to get it to and from the trails.
Chris Baumann
via email@example.com
Answer: Every day I see more coilover shocks on the trail and there is one major reason to swap from coils with external shocks to coilover shocks: performance. Most coilover shocks are extremely tunable to the weight, driving style, and trail conditions your truck sees by changing springs and shock valving. Since they are a single unit, mounting them is easier as they do not require a separate coil and shock mount that then would need to be coordinated so the shock and spring travel would be comparable. However, coilover shocks are much more expensive than a separate coil and shock, and i have seen many broken when the suspension travel wasn't controlled, mounting the shocks was done incorrectly, or when link joints broke and the axle twisted, thus destroying the coilover. if you like to fine-tune your ride for optimum performance and are willing to take the time to do so, then coilovers are for you. but if you just want a simple, rugged, affordable suspension that will work, and you don't have time or interest to dial in the suspension, then stick with the coils and shocks for now.
Question: I recently started to look for a set of bead-lock rims for my project truck. not to my surprise they want your first-born child on trade for a set. is there a cheaper alternative that i'm not aware of? Somebody recently told me to shoot self-tapping screws into the bead. Is there any truth in that method?
Matt l.
via firstname.lastname@example.com
Answer: Drag racers have long been using wheel screws such at those offered by Moroso (203.458.0542, Pn 90100) in order to keep the wheel from spinning inside the tire during extreme acceleration. However, these are for a car that is going in a straight line, and the tires on your 4x4 receive most of their abuse from side loads. Wheel screws will not hold the bead of a tire nearly as well as a bead lock that clamps the bead, and i'd never recommend screwing a bunch of screws into your new off-road tires. i'd say run your tires on non-bead-locked rims at a slightly higher pressure and save up to get a proper set of bead locks rather than drill and tap a bunch of screws into your wheels.

June Helenske
"Who dares to teach must never cease to learn"
June Helenske, 90, died January 17, 2013 at Elim Care Center, Fargo, ND. She lived her life with strength, courage, grace, and a dash of humor. June touched many lives through her career in education and also by just being a friend.
June was born on Flag Day, June 14, 1922 in Burnstad, ND to Walter and Dagny Arntz. Following high school, she attended Bismarck Junior College, earning her Associate Degree and completed her English Degree at North Dakota State University in Fargo, ND.
On Valentine's Day, 1947, she married Richard (Dick) Helenske. Dick and June had three children together; Craig, Mary Kay Klabo, and Steve.
June taught school for 36 years, and left a legacy through her students. She taught in Thompson, Hazen, Washburn, and Wahpeton, ND. June and Dick moved to Bismarck in the 50's and she continued her teaching career at Bismarck Junior College and Capital Commercial College before going to Bismarck High School for twenty years to challenge the seniors. June was passionate about her students. She demanded much from them, but was always there for them if they fell short.
June retired in 1984 from teaching English at Bismarck High School and for the next 20 years she followed her children's lives and nurtured her grandchildren. Her chihuahua "Snoopy" filled in as the kids grew up and left home. The grandkids found their way to every attraction that Bismarck had to offer. She was "Grammie" to her grandchildren, enjoying playing "Kings in the Corner" and making Christmas a special time for them with ham, turkey, cookies and other goodies.
June loved a classy dress and high heels whether she was teaching or going out with Dick. June traveled the US with Dick, taking time off for her roses and flower garden in the summer. Their travels included a few detours to the casinos for her to play the penny and nickel slots at Las Vegas and Prairie Knights south of Mandan. June was never far from a book, June was an avid reader. During her time at Elim Care Center, she likely read every book from the Fargo Public Library.
June is survived by her children; Craig (Llonna), Fargo ND; Mary Kay (Tom), Sharon, ND; Steve, Tulane, CA; her sister Joyce Engan, Fargo, ND; and her grandchildren Adam (Kayla), Seattle, WA; Zak, Birmingham, AL; Justin (Kristin), Champlin, MN; and Krista, Cooperstown, ND. June was blessed with two great-grandsons, Blake Klabo and Madaak Helenske.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Dick. Her Memorial Service will be held at the Elim Care Chapel in Fargo, ND at 10:30 AM, Saturday, January 26th. June will join Dick at the Veteran's Memorial Cemetery in Mandan, ND, on Valentine's Day 2013.
June was cared for by the Elim Care Center family of care givers for 6 years. They were her Angels and she became a very dear friend to each of them. Elim was her home and family. June leaves Elim with many fond memories and has a new library named in her honor.
Memorials may be sent to the Elim Care Center Memorial Fund.

Comments On Jul 26, 2013:Just like some of the other reviews have mentioned these are sized way too small. I wear a medium T-shirt and I ended up needing an XL.
Out of the package there were a few snaggs in the material. Not the highest quality but should last a riding season if your not playing in a lot of brush.

On June 6, 2005, at 7:00 p.m., the first ever Interfaith Convocation on Hunger will assemble one of the largest gatherings of anti-hunger and anti-poverty activists in the nation' s capital in decades. The Jewish Reconstructionist Federation is pleased to be represented at and endorse this event and invites all people of faith to call for an end to hunger.
For those able to attend the convocation you will hear Archbishop Njongonkulu Ndungane of Cape Town, South Africa, faith leaders offering guidance from the sacred texts of many traditions and the music of Beth Nielson Chapman, Salvation Army National Capital Area Band, Siyaya Youth Choir (South Africa) and Saint Camillus Multicultural Choir. Members of the Knesset are also scheduled to fly in and participant in various events.
In the spirit of prayer, more than 30 leaders from major faith traditions will unite with representatives of millions of volunteers who feed the hungry in the US and overseas. National leaders of Christian, Jewish, Muslim and other faith groups will call on the president and Congress to join them in galvanizing a new national commitment to end hunger.
Read more about the convocation and its accompanying events.
In addition to the evening gathering, a three day training event entitled, "One Table, Many Voices: A Mobilization to Overcome Poverty & Hunger," will create wonderful opportunities for learning how to engage on this topic. Co-sponsored by Bread for the World & Call to Renewal and Mazon: A Jewish Response to Hunger on June 4-7.
In addition, a Lobby Day with various government officials and representatives on Capitol Hill will be held on June 7 in which representatives from JRF will participate, in coordination with MAZON, with whom JRF has an organizational affiliation .
For more information about any of the above or to find out how you can make your voice heard even if you cannot attend, contact Mazon.
National Hunger Awareness Day sponsors are America's Second Harvest: The Nation's Food Bank Network, Bread for the World Institute, The Interfaith Anti-Hunger Coordinators, MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger and the Alliance to End Hunger.

I have heard pros and cons of both, but am curious what everyone thinks.
I currently have a 40gal tank, whirlpool. I hate it, but it was in when house was purchased and I have already upgraded it to the new thermal coupler for what it is worth. There are 3 of us living in the house, with a fourth due soon and I have 2 bathrooms.
The 40gal tank just doesn't seem to supply enough hot water for back to back showers and this morning, my 3y/o was taking a bath, while I took my shower and my water got cold. She had maybe 1/4 tub of water and I take, maybe a 5min shower. This tank isn't but maybe 3-4 years old, if that.
I have also thought about adding some radiant heat and I see where many recommend a hot water tank for that, which brings me to my questions.
1) Will a wall mounted, gas, on-demand unit supply hot water for multiple functions at once or is that not what they are designed for? For example, can I take a shower, my daughter a bath. What about a shower and running the washing machine at the same time? Currently, that doesn't work well!
My understanding is that the on-demand units aren't great at providing hot water to several items at once.
2) If the on-demand units aren't good at several items at once, can they be plumbed to work in conjunction with a hot water tank? Or is that like I figure not real efficient and a waste of money.
3) While researching radiant floor setups, I came across a hot-water tank that was about $3500, forget the brand, but what makes one of those worth $3500 vs. the $400 units? It was 90% or 95% efficient, but even if it cost nothing it would take 8 years to recoop the cost over my current unit.
4) Is 40gal tank style big enough for 4 people or should I look at a larger unit? Or maybe even just a 2nd unit and plumb the showers to the 2nd one. It wouldn't be hard, as everything is being converted to pex.
My thoughts are....get either a bigger tank style or an on-demand unit. I have thought about trying to use the current tank for a radiant system, as I don't think it's bad, just that it might be having a hard time keeping up.
You have a few options.
1. Purchase a high efficiency 60-80 gallon tank with inlet/outlet for your radiant heat. Pro - may use existing gas service and flue, can use for small amount of radiant heat. Con - May not be enough during combined domestic/radiant use. (If a high number of Btus will be needed for heat, a boiler may be a better choice for efficency)
2. On-demand. Pro - theroretically, unlimited hot water Con - moderately high installed price for a unit large enough for your requirements, gas service would need to accomodate 200,000+ Btu (this may be a show stopper). Also, the upkeep on the tankless unit is beyond what most want to routinely do. (do a search on this forum). The existing flue may not be usable; most (not all) units use a category III vent and it is expensive. Electric power available?
3. Add another 40 gallon high efficiency tank water heater. Pro - possible lower cost, minimal maintenance. Con - existring gas supply aqequate for another unit? Flue? Will have issues hooking up radiant heat to either unit.
Some guys swear by the tankless units. I was originally very interested in installing one in my house, a very similar scenario you describe. The efficiency was a hook, but decided against it because of complexity and higher routine maintenance.
The tank unit you questioned the price on was probably a very high end multi-use unit with a stainless steel tank and burner. Only you can decide if it is worth the premium. I settled on a small tank type with 90+ efficiency and a higher capacity (100,000 Btu+) burner. It also has the hookups for the radiant heat. Bradford has one as well as the Vertex from A.O. Smith. The guys around here swear by the Bradfords; you would be very happy with it. If you have the gas capacity where you want to install this, it would be a good choice.
Whatever direction you go, combining domestic hot water with radiant heat could present health issues, ie. stagnant water in summer months getting into domestic side. If you are not a bonified plumber, definitely find an experienced plumber for this install.
Hmm, the amount of hot water you are getting doesn't sound right to me. Perhaps one of the elements is dead or corroded badly.
A tankless unit is not recommended for simultaneous draw by multiple fixtures. If you want that kind of luxury, then you need to either look at multiple point of use tankless units, or you need to go with a larger tank unit, like a 60 or 80 gal unit. Gas units are more expensive than electric ones, but they will give you better recovery times if you have multiple people trying to take showers one after the other. Also, bottom entry tank units will actually give you like a 1/4 to a 1/3 more hot water than a standard top entry unit.
The expensive tank you saw was probably a Marathon unit. That tank is an all plastic unit with alot of insulation. The tank will never corrode, but apparently there have been problems where the tank gets tapped.
For me, a 40 gal unit is fine for two roughly back to back 10 min showers. I would suggest that you follow leejosepho's suggestion of looking at your thermostat setting. Whirlpool water heaters are supposed to be the worst..I've never installed one so I can't say if they are for sure. Basically it all comes down to your usage, if you can't live with your current tank's output, then it's time to move up to a larger tank, and I do suggest you spend the extra money on a bottom entry unit.
Broken promises don't upset me. I just think, why did they believe me? -Jack Handy
I never been a fan of tankless heaters, Most people around here that have 4 or 5 baths think one tankless heater will supply them all the hot water in the world while 3 or 4 people are showering and doing laundry. This is far from true. A tankless heater can only raise the temperature of the water if it has time to do it. In other words if the flow is 4 gpm a Single tankless unit can provide good temperate water. But at 11 gpm it can not raise the temperature high enough so a second unit is needed and in some extreme cases you might need 3 units.
Now Bradford White addressed the troubles people have with the big hot tubes and multiple shower issues with this water heater. http://www.bradfordwhite.com/images/shared/pdfs/specsheets/115-B.pdf
This 25 gallon heater produces 155 gallons of hot water in the first hour, this is a whole lot better than the 90 some gallons of hot water a standard 50 gallon heater does.

Here is a recent article quoted by another forum user.
This is out of Consumer Reports.
Heating water accounts for up to 30 percent of the average home's energy budget. Some makers of gas-fired tankless water heaters claim their products can cut your energy costs up to half over regular storage heaters. So is it time to switch?
Probably not. Gas tankless water heaters, which use high-powered burners to quickly heat water as it runs through a heat exchanger, were 22 percent more energy efficient on average than the gas-fired storage-tank models in our tests. That translates into a savings of around $70 to $80 per year, based on 2008 national energy costs. But because they cost much more than storage water heaters, it can take up to 22 years to break evenlonger than the 20-year life of many models. Moreover, our online poll of 1,200 readers revealed wide variations in installation costs, energy savings, and satisfaction.
With the help of an outside lab, we pitted Takagi and Noritz gas-fired tankless water heaters against three storage water heaters. EvenWe didn't test electric tankless heaters because many can't deliver hot water fast enough to replace a conventional water heater if ground*water is cold. in areas with warm groundwater, most homeowners would need to upgrade their electrical service to power a whole-house tankless model.
Our tests simulated daily use of 76 to 78 gallons of hot water. That's the equivalent of taking three showers, washing one laun*dry load, running the dishwasher once (six cycles), and turning on the faucet nine times, for a total of 19 draws. While that's considered heavy use compared with the standard Department of Energy test, we think it more accurately represents an average family's habits. We also ran more than 45,000 gallons of very hard water through a tanked model and a Rinnai tankless model to simulate about 11 years of regular use.
Here's what else we found:
Water runs hot and cold
Manufacturers of tankless water heaters are fond of touting their products' ability to provide an endless amount of hot water. But inconsistent water temperatures were a common complaint among our poll respondents. When you turn on the faucet, tankless models feed in some cold water to gauge how big a temperature rise is needed. If there's cool water lingering in your pipes, you'll receive a momentary "cold-water sandwich" between the old and new hot water. And a tankless water heater's burner might not ignite when you try to get just a trickle of hot water for, say, shaving.
Nor do tankless water heaters deliver hot water instantaneously. It takes time to heat the water to the target temperature, and just like storage water heaters, any cold water in the pipes needs to be pushed out. And tankless models' electric controls mean you'll also lose hot water during a power outage.
Up-front costs are high
The tankless water heaters we tested cost $800 to $1,150, compared with $300 to $480 for the regular storage-tank types. Tankless models need electrical outlets for their fan and electronics, upgraded gas pipes, and a new ventilation system. That can bring average installation costs to $1,200, compared with $300 for storage-tank models.
Tankless units might need more care
During our long-term testing, an indicator on the tankless model warned of scale buildup. We paid $334 for special valves and a plumber to flush out the water heater with vinegar. Many industry pros recommend that tankless models be serviced once a year by a qualified technician. Calcium buildup can decrease efficiency, restrict water flow, and damage tankless models. Experts suggest installing a water softener if your water hardness is above 11 grains per gallon. Ignoring this advice can shorten your warranty.
Efficient storage models are pricey
We also tested the $1,400 Vertex, a high-efficiency storage water heater by A.O. Smith. The manufacturer claims its installation costs are similar to a regular storage model. But its high cost offsets much of the roughly $70 per year the Vertex will save you. Instead, we recommend buying a conventional storage water heater with a 9- or 12-year warranty. In previous tests, we found that those models generally had thicker insulation, bigger burners or larger heating elements, and better corrosion-fighting metal rods called anodes.

If you had a 1/4 tub of "hot" water, you should not have had ANY for the shower, depending on the heater's thermostat setting.
Being as the 1/4 tub of water was for a 3y/o, the water was probably only lukewarm at best. Water that you or I would probably deam "cold".
Judging from what I have always understood and what has been posted, I will forget about the tankless heaters and focus on finding a good bottom fed tank heater. I'll probably go with larger than 40gal and hope I can use it for radiant heat. The system I saw that used the tank for the radiant system, would sense when a shower, sink, washing machine, etc was being used and diverted the water to that item. Then kept the radiant system from going stagnent during the summer by somehow bypassing cold water through the radiant pipes during the summer, which they say gave a very small residual cooling effect. The cooling was not the prime thing, it was keeping the water from being stagnated.
One thing about using a heater that does both radiant heat and heating water is when it goes out on you. If you have cold winters and it fails, you have no hot water or heat. It's ok if you use it to supplement another system or keep another as a backup, but I wouldn't use it exclusively.
I've been in supply houses when other plumbers come in complaining they have customers with no heat or hot water conveniently in December. No one wants to pay the upfront cost of putting in a new heater while waiting for warranty service or authorization.
A conventional water heater is "bottom fed" by the dip tube. A 40 gallon gas heater is big enough for a family of 4 if use just for house water. I would never go with a heater for both radiant and household use for the reasons already mentioned by others.
I presently have a small kickspace heater being fed through a regular recirculation line connected to our electric, 40-gallon water heater, and thereby keeping the water in the tank circulated actually gives us more hot water with a consistent temperature for showers.
The radiant would just be supplemental heat for the house, trying to get some heat the a 2nd floor, etc.
I don't see why unless there was some type of anti-freeze in it like glycol that required a closed sysytem.
Going back to a previous postings, gas heaters do not have either upper or lower elements, and the flue for a 40 gallon heater would be completely inadequate for anything larger than a 50 gallon one or a tankless heater.

There really has been no other time like the 1950s. The United States was in one of its most prosperous eras and rock and roll was beginning to burst out onto the scene. The songs of Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry were dancing across the airwaves, and Elvis was just beginning his legendary career. The decade had a style all its own, where poodle skirts and leather jackets were everywhere and unique lingo ran the gamut. Why not celebrate this terrific time period with a 50s-style decade party?

There are so many (good) programming blogs out there. Some of them are consistent in what they post - as in they stick to programming topics. Some of them occasionally post on other unrelated topics. Also, not every programming post might be relevant to me. I might have read one good post once, and not wishing to miss any future good ones - subscribed to the blog. Subscribing to too many blog feeds usually leads to just skimming through all of them (which takes time as well). Another option might be to subscribe to aggregators, like Hacker News - but that too has a huge rate of link accumulation.
How do you manage if you wish to keep up with the programming blogosphere and still maintain a good signal to noise ratio?

The biggest show in the history of the KOTC was decimated by injuries In what turned out to be an injury fest as much as an MMA card. The KOTC did good job of doing what they could to fill out a card that was rapidly filling the local hospices with injury riddled fighters that would not be able to compete in the KOTC on this day. In fact almost every fight was in some way, involved in some sort of injury to a fighter. The unfortunate events inevitably took its toll on the Card. What was left was a lesser card that, though no fault of their own, was high on action but more or less middle of the pack in terms of bang for the PPV buck. I had the opportunity to tune in and watch the King of the cage on the Live Pay per view broadcast and what I saw was a mixed bag with some mismatches and one of the finest showings of heart and determination that I have ever seen in a MMA bout, or any type of bout for that matter.
Main Card
In the first bracket of the Heavyweight Tournament that would decide the bearer of the vacated KOTC heavyweight belt, Bobby Hoffman was able to take the victory In the second of his first fight in the first round due to an injury tap-out. Sotello fell on his elbow on a outside trip takedown attempt by Hoffman and injured his shoulder looking like he dislocated it in the fall and was unable to continue. Hoffman looked a little rusty in the opening moments of the fight but settled in nicely considering it was his first fight in 2 years, due to his incarceration.
Seth Petruzelli was victorious against Bryan Hawkins in his bout despite taking the fight on short notice after Paul Buentellos injury forced him to withdraw. Petruzelli dominated with leg kicks early and after a failed trip takedown attempt by Hawkins, Petruzelli landed in the mount position and dropped down punches that Hawkins could not defend. Peruzelli wins via K.O in the first round.
Joey Villasenor was able to take the victory over the Lions den fighter Tony The Bull Galindo spending much of the first round in the half guard of Galindo grounding and pounding till the bell sounded to close the round. After the round was over Galindo was unable to continue to an injury on his arm and Villasenor was declared the winner.
Shonie Carter was able to take the win over Fernando Vesconcelos after Vesconcelos was unable to continue after two rounds. Vesconsalos controlled the first round from front to back getting mound at one point to dominate Carter and put him on the defensive for the duration of the first stanza, cutting him above his right eye. The second round was a different story and Carter was able to assert his will more in the second winning the second round with control and some ground and pound action. After the second round was over in what was considered by most to be a two round fight, Vasconcelos did not answer the bell for the third round. Shonie Carter wins.
Jimmy Abriz did what he came to do and grounded and pounded (A rumored injured) Jonathan Ivey and eventually gets the 69 choke from the north south position to take the Heavyweight Belt home with him again.
Javier Vazquez showed the heart of few in the sport, fighting through an injury to his knee in the opening moments of the first round and stood on his heart grinding his way through a fight he was doomed to lose. The injury at the outset looked to come on the heels of a tangled takedown attempt, and for the rest of the fight Vazquez could not put any weight on the leg that looked to be in very bad shape. It was a surprise to many that he was able to continue the round, and the fact that he finished the fight showed off his world class skills and the heart of few in the world of MMA. In the second round and many times during the fight Crane looked like he had a couple close Guillotine attempts but Vazquez was able to avert them all and take the fight to the distance despite being in obvious discomfort and pain. In a very close fight Crane was able to take the belt from Vazquez on the strength of a split decision that had some shaking their heads.
Preliminary Action
To kick off the events three under-card bouts and the alternate bout for the heavyweight tournament took place before the pay per view portion of the event would go on live broadcast around North America. Thomas Shulte was able to Armbar Frank Marquez in the second round after grounding and pounding marquez for the entirety of the first round and looking gassed to start the second round. But the hometown favorite was able to find a way to win and hand Marquez his second straight Armbar loss in New Mexico at the KOTC in a row.
Keith Jardin was in control for the duration of his bout against Allan Sullivan, spending much of the fight on Sullivans back. Despite the long periods of time in a favorable position he was unable to put him away despite many a rear naked Choke opportunity. In the end Jardin was too much however, and after taking his opponents back again he decided to ground an pound the sides of his head instead of going for the choke another time. This time he was successful in stopping the fight as the ref stepped in to stop halt the contest.
Jason Godsey was able to quickly dispatch of his opponent with what looked to be a rear naked choke to Chris Guillen from the back side mount position and not the traditional rear mount in the alternate bout for the Heavyweight Tournament of the evening.
Diego Sanchez was able to make Short work of Jake Short, in another preliminary on the evening, grounding and pounding his way to victory.
A look back
Injury was the word of this day, and the unlucky word had its stamp all over this card. The misfortune started early and often, to start it off Forrest Griffen gets injured forcing him to drop out of the event, then it is John Alessio who is unable to compete against Shonie Carter in their anticipated bout due to a hand injury suffered by Alessio in his bout with Jason Black in the UCC. Paul Buentello is the next to land by the wayside with a serious Kidney stone problem that steals his chance at the limelight, mix in an injury to Javier Vazquez only a few moments into the first round of his fight against Alberto Crane, an injury to Tony Galindo that stopped him from continuing in his fight, an injury to Seth Petruzelli that forced him to back out and give way to Jason Godsey, an injury Sam Sotello that forced him to tap due to injury, toss in a rumored injury to Jonathan Ivey before his bout with Jimmy Ambriz and you have a recipe for a disaster. The injuries certainly took a bite out of the card and the overall appeal of the show, but all things considered, I dont believe there was much the KOTC could have done. This was not exactly the event that I was hoping for, but certainly understandable considering the lengthy string of bad luck that had hindered the card from the outset. Bobby Hoffman is back, easily dispatching of the two opponents that were in his path and it looks like he will be back to defend the belt at future KOTC events. He did not get to showcase any skills that we havent seen before but he certainly hasnt lost his gusto as he sliced through the competition quite easily after having fallen into an easier path to the belt due to injuries. An Impressive "debut" none the less, for a man that has not competed in MMA for almost One and a half years. Hoffman reclaims the belt that was last held by himself before it was stripped off him for his trouble with the law. We will see if Hoffman will be able to translate his Physical talents to success inside and outside the cage. On the whole KOTC Invasion featured a lot of mind numbing action mixed in with a show of heart by Javier Vazquez that could have put the rest of the fighters in the world to shame.

Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. was having trouble going global. For more than a year it had courted the London Stock Exchange, amassing a 31 percent stake before being rebuffed in a bid for a full-fledged merger. Last May Nasdaq changed course, offering $3.7 billion for Sweden's OMX AB equity and derivatives exchange, only to be outbid by two Persian Gulf state funds. Some began to doubt Nasdaq's global future — except perhaps as a target itself.
Then, in September, one of Nasdaq's Gulf rivals, Borse Dubai Ltd., suddenly turned from spoiler to ally, agreeing to buy 20 percent of Nasdaq as part of a friendly deal. The plan was for Borse Dubai to pay a premium to relieve Nasdaq of most of its LSE stake, and to sell Nasdaq the 4.9 percent holding that Borse Dubai had accumulated in OMX. That could pave the way for Nasdaq to complete a purchase of the Swedish-based collection of exchanges that it had coveted.
"The deal is crucial to our global expansion," says Nasdaq CFO David Warren. "Through Dubai, we will expand our brand in the rapidly emerging markets of the Middle East and Africa."
Buying Bobcat
The Borse Dubai investment in Nasdaq illustrates a significant shift in the dealmaking world. As the heated merger-and-acquisition market cooled in mid-2007, and the once-dominant U.S. private-equity companies receded as a factor, the void was at least partly filled by two new classes of strategic foreign acquirers: wealthy state-owned companies from the Middle East and Asia, and independent conglomerates from emerging economies like South Korea, Singapore, and India.
"We see a pickup in interest from global companies wanting to assess their strategy in the U.S.," says Cary Kochman, co-head of M&A for the Americas at UBS, who expects increased activity into next year. Indeed, of the $1.4 trillion spent on acquisitions of U.S. targets through September, foreign companies accounted for 20 percent, up from 14 percent last year. By far the sharpest rises have been from Asia and the Gulf states, according to Thomson Financial.
Already this year, the value of Mideast acquisitions of U.S. companies has grown fivefold, to $23.1 billion, while those from Asian nations have surged by 77 percent, to $32.7 billion. In one recent example, Seoul-based Doosan Infracore built up its construction-equipment line by paying $4.9 billion for the Bobcat construction-vehicle unit of Ingersoll-Rand Co., which is moving away from cyclical, capital-intensive businesses.
This influx of new M&A money reflects the rapid rate of wealth creation in the two regions of late. As Gulf states look to diversify their holdings and large Asian industrial players plot an expansion of their distribution footprints, many find U.S. assets attractive. And the dollar's decline suggests that companies here will continue to be alluringly priced.
That is changing the way U.S. companies see their place in the world. "You have to think strategically, if not defensively, about how you are perceived in a global market," says UBS's Kochman. "If you are a Fortune 200 company CFO, the topic of defense or how other people view you as an acquisition is not always on the top of your mind. But in this environment, it needs to move to the forefront."

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has alleviated fears over the health of winger Scott Sinclair after he was taken to hospital with a blood clot.
• Mancini advises Sinclair to leave
The club confirmed that Sinclair, 24, is receiving treatment after he suffered the clot in his shoulder on Friday. He is being treated at Manchester's Alexandra Hospital.
Mancini said: "Scott had a problem yesterday. I don't think it is a bad situation and it is under control."
The City boss, speaking after the 0-0 draw with Swansea City, also played down concerns over Yaya Toure.
The midfielder was withdrawn at half-time at the Liberty Stadium but it appears there is no danger he will miss out on next weekend's FA Cup final against Wigan Athletic.
"He was tired and we thought it was better to bring him off," Mancini said.

Tyga – Don't Hate The Playa Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Blam-blam with them Ninas
Turn-up like Tina
T-Raww in my speakers
She play with my balls like Venus
Cool nigga with a heater
Hot shots of tequila
I can make you a star
Put you in my features
Said I don't take no breaks
So all my money be even
I don't shop at IKEA
Got a beach house for the weekend
My bitch bad, that's an understatement
Got a porno, might leak it
I Hail Mary to the deep end
I charge the pussy like defense
Crazy motherfucker -
How you in that Benz and you ain't got cake?
Better use your legs, do what a pimp say
Even when I'm out of state, gotta keep 'em in they place
I be like "pay', ma'fucka"
Walk a day in my shadow, bet you won't last
'Cause a nigga move fast, gotta get that cash
Riding in a Cadillac with a big 'ol ass
Don't hate the player, 'cause your bitch chose me
Gettin' super high, tryna stay low-key
Suicide my doors, Suicide my doors
Bad bitch of the year, you should win an award [x2]
[Verse 2]
I'm throwed again, I'm throwed again, I'm sippin' lean
Got one gift, call her one gift
'Cause she open up like Christmas Eve
She's doin' dome, that's double-d's
I play chess on them double-d's
Hennessy, that's my drink
You don't drink? That's more for me (more for me)
Tell me when you see a nigga this fly, don't lie
Got a chauffeur 'cause the nigga don't drive
Tryna drink drive time on my lifetime (pass that loud)
Big beast and a nigga gon' feast
And I got a new chick, and I told her "be easy"
Runnin' through a hundred racks, nigga, that's easy
It's too easy – believe me

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I'm probably too late with advice for this but i just wanted to back the advice on using a crate. You're going through an incredibly tough time and the dog will pick up on it. Add to that a change in his daily routine and home environment and I think that goes a long way to explain some of the behaviour changes. I rehomed a 3yr old dog once who had spent the first 3 years of her life in a crate or kennel and run. I brought her straight into my house, gave her a lovely bed and then watched her destroy furniture and whine constantly. At the time I was anti crating but as a last resort decided to give it a go. Problem solved! She just needed a space that was hers and where she felt safe. Sounds like your boy would benefit from a space he can get away from the kids and call his own like he used to have outside.
As for the nipping, our old dog nipped me loads when I was a child. She was stressed, I wound her up and I came off worse. It was a nip, I survived.
Good luck.x

A GSD needs lots of attention. My GSD bit someone (out of the home) when we were going through major stress in our home - all is better now & things are fine - but they do pick up stress. Mine was a fearful dog in the first place, add the stress & oh boy!
There is nothing wrong with rehoming him - you have your hands full. My GSD is a lot of work & I have a 12 & 14 year old & I am exhausted at times, I cannot imagine how hard it must be for you. Good luck.
Gsds are really sensitive to there owners emotions and going through divorce is emotional turmoil your dog will pick up on this and in turn will also be emotional you need really try keep his normal routine in the 2 half years you've had him cause change of routine will also cause him to act out he will do things that are out of character too cause he will be picking up not only on your stress but also upset children too so maybe letting g have more time in yard like you did will help him cause he's not around everyone been emotional still have him in house too just let him have some me time it may help

You know, I actually can't believe I forgot this but a few weeks ago my brothers Jack Russell and his 2 daughter had a run in with each other not long after my brother got deployed. She really debated sending the dog away to her parents till he got back, but decided to fix it basically the same way a few of us are suggesting, with the management.
You'll notice everyone acting up a little bit because of the recent changes. It's a normal thing. Anytime there is a change in environment you have to back track on training a bit and give em some additional rules, constraints, and structure.
|David Taggart
If a family dog bites a member of the family - it means that there's something wrong within the family. Everything would be OK only the things come to some new order.
Big hugs to you during this new chapter in your life. It's gotta be tough, I wish you all the best.
Changes are happening to your entire family. You are stressed. Your babies are stressed. Your dog is stressed. Just as you can see the stress in your babies, your dog can sense / see the stress in the rest of his family. Then add that part of his pack is now missing. It doesn't matter what the relationship your children's father had with the dog.
Your dog's behavior now is a result of it's inability to cope with the stress. Destructive behavior and getting snappy with the kids (NEVER allowed!!).
I would first suggest finding a behaviorist/trainer to help with your dog. But I'll step out on a ledge here and assume due to your new situation that money is a little tight.
I'd suggest 100% NILIF. He has to earn every right you allow. I'd suggest crating while he's eating until you get this behavior under control. I'd suggest you really getting serious about his exercise needs. He HAS to burn off that stress. I'd suggest you really taking control of everything he does. When you want to play, you play. When you want to stop, you stop. Show your dog you are in control of the situation. Show leadership 24/7. Get tough, get strong.
Help your dog help your family through this transition. The same good dog is in there, you just have to help him through this.
The dog only used to come in when the husband was home, and now there is a divorce/separation. The dog is destroying stuff in the house.
And the accident where your child got snapped at he caught her lip. A dog raised with children shouldn't be snapping at them. It sounds like he is very unsettled right now, and I would give him his yard time like he had before, so he can get used to the new regime -- one thing at a time so to speak.
Normally I would suggest upping the training with the dog, so it will increase your leadership position with the dog. But you have your hands full. I think everyone here would understand if you gave this dog to the family members that he does well with and are willing to take him. Because of the, uhm, accident, he probably would not be welcome in rescues and his fate in a shelter is probably sealed, so if you rehome, you need to choose someone who has the experience and time to manage him properly, and is not afraid of him.
If you want to try to keep the dog. You will need to find ways to up the training, exercise, and management. You might want to read through stuff on line about NILIF. It might help. I would try to go back to how it was when your husband was around for a few weeks, until he is more settled without him being there, than increase his inside time.
If you can find some ways to exercise him while spending time with the kids, I know, there is little time and probably less money. I mean, on walks you need to be holding the leash, six year olds won't be able to control him if he sees something too tempting. So even a walk with all the kids, for one would be rather slow with little ones, and it would probably be like a major event trying to get everyone out the door and on the road before someone needs to go to the potty again. If the older ones are in school, and you have a running stroller, that might work. If money was no problem getting him a cart, and putting the kids in the cart might be a great way to exercise everyone -- and exercise for you is probably just as important to keep up your strength and spirits. Another possibility is a back pack to increase the amount of work the dog is doing, for the time/energy you are spending.
More exercise, and incorporating some management techniques, and some time to get over the changes going on, might be enough to get everyone where they need to be.
This can be done but wow its alot of work and commitment and you must get some help. Dog walker and or friends that could help to exercise dog or watch kids so you can have some quality time with your dog. This could be win/win for both you and the dog. Some time away from kids getting fresh air and exercise for the both of you.
If no help is possible you have a tough decision to make.
Four children under 6 yrs, and a divorce. Who has time for a dog, let alone a GSD?
I think you should rehome your dog. I would not want to be in your household and would probably act out too. Sorry for your situation, but I think simplifying your life will help you focus on your children and uncertain future.

1449 2nd St, Santa Monica, CA | Directions 9040134.013859 -118.495840
Mon-Fri 6pm-2am
Sat 7pm-2am
Happy Hour M-F 6-730pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown, West LA
Happy hour is 6-8pm Monday-Friday, the bar itself is dark, small and classy. I love their grilled cheese and mac and cheese. I love that they have a lot of finger foods.
Great Place – This place is going to Rock in May. Bat n down the hatches. Noreaster on the way with some mountain jacks to follow.
Nice room, wrong music. – Chloe is a pretty and pleasant room, formerly Voda, that has an ambience of both sophistication and decadence. It's a small lounge and restaurant, although the restaurant idea is a bit puzzling--the room isn't really set up for it and I think many patrons don' t even realize there's a menu. It's a place you go to have a cocktail with a pretty (or handsome) date, either before stepping it up a notch to go party somewhere more intensely or before sealing the deal to get said date into bed. The bartenders are friendly and polite, and the crowd is a nice mix of characters of varying ages who like to drink--and even get drunk--but try to keep it civilized.
The negatives: Until recently, mixed drinks were served in ridiculously small glasses at embarassingly high prices. A Tom Cruise-sized gin and tonic for, say, 12 bucks. Sorry, but even in good economic times, which these aren't, nobody likes a rip off. More recently the glasses got bigger and the price was $9--hopefully that's here to stay.
The music is the biggest problem. At a corner of the bar sits a woman with a Mac, intensely pressing buttons and making adjustments as if she's working on the Manhattan project. But what comes out of the speakers is the most horribly random, inappropriate for the room music I've heard in a long time. Lots of classic Zeppelin, metalish rock and oddly smashed together tunes that don' t belong together and certainly don't belong in this bar. It's like a jukebox in a blue-collar bar, where soused patrons are randomly hitting buttons for songs that have been collecting dust for decades. Also, for the size of the place, the volume could be lowered about 10% and nobody would mind.
Sorry if she's somebody's girlfriend or sister, but music ain't her forte. Somebody needs to buy this place an iPod, load it up with more modern, and yes, some "loungey" tunes, and press shuffle. The bar and its customers would both be better off.
Great Place! – I absolutely love coming to this bar! never had a bad time and the bartender really knows how to make som killer martini's. I would totally recommend going to check out Bar Chloe if you haven't already!
Relaxed vibe for a weekday drink – Good cocktail list...didn't catch the food menu. The bartender on wednesday nights, Blake, is attentive and drop dead gorgeous. Great escape from the horrid bars on the promenade!
Downhill Quick – I used to love this bar when it first opened. They had DJ's and a great crowd of young professionals. The menu was simple, but my friends and I never went for the food. The fun we had was all because of the spunky bartender, Jen. One of the few LA bartenders I've ever come across with a true personality that kept us all coming back for more. When we went in last night, I encountered a rude, unwelcoming attitude from the door man, then had less than appetizing rice patties and cold fries that we suffered through, and to bring it all to a halt, I found out that Jen doesn't even work there anymore!! I don't think I'll go back, I believe it was a poor business decision to let her get away, and for those prices I'd rather go to the Penthouse or Viceroy.
Great! – great drinks, food and staff. the vibe is excellent. been twice already and love this bar. the crowd is a good mix and its a perfect hangout spot. good mix of kcrw meets 103.1 music. love it.
Best Drinks!! – Had my birthday dinner at Chloe last night with friends, we all loved it!! Our waitress Vanessa was perfection and kept the cocktails rolling. Great music and perfect vibe. It is a beautiful place!!!
Rude Bouncer – I've been coming to this bar for many years when it was Voda. Never when it was Voda did I experience the rudeness of the bouncer since it changed to Chloe. On a slow Friday night, my attorney friends and I decide to go to Chloe after having a great time down the street at the Bodega Bar. The bouncer would not let us in even though we had a group of several attractive women and two guys. Some friends of mine happened to get there earlier and said it was not even busy inside. We questioned him and he said there's nothing we could do and told us to go to another bar in Santa Monica which we did. We spent a lot of money there. If there is one place in Santa Monica to never go to, it is Chloe. Not worth the hassle. I'm sure it will be some other bar anyway in a few months. Don't go to Chloe period!
Chloe's Rude Bartender – I've been coming to this place for the past 5 years or so when it was Voda...loved it! Now it's Chloe and overall the vibe is good as are most of the staff and the doorman is always cool.
However, they have recently added several women bartenters and one is a rude, mean biatch and has NO understanding of customer service what so ever!! She has long brown hair and bangs, only semi attractive and so jealous of every attractive woman in the bar!!
I actually stood for 10 minutes friday night while she helped every single man around me and still would not get my round of drinks!! Finally another female bartender helped me and she and the barback apologized. What a total loser, biatch!! I'm 38, 5'8" 117#, blonde and ex signed LA Models runway and print, she would NOt help me or my other attractive women friends...what's with that??
They need to hire and train a better staff like Voda had! The guy during the week is great!
Reminiscent of a classic Parisian saloon but with the casual atmosphere of beachy Santa Monica, this signless bar is just steps away from the tourist-laden Promenade scene. – In Short
With an unmarked entrance that blends in with Second Street's pedestrian stretch, this unexpected spot might appear like some exclusive word-of-mouth club. But it's come one, come all behind the towering front door. Softly-lit French chandeliers, antique mirrors, tiger print chaises, burgundy couches and a classic rock soundtrack keep things posh and easy. As for the crowd, think of it as scenester-lite: Dressed-down dudes, stylishly casual girls and even a few local beach bums gather by the smooth marble bar sipping reinvented vintage drinks. Those with more than just a liquid appetite can choose from the small menu, which has standbys like mixed olives, ahi tuna tartare, creamy rice balls and petite burgers smothered in English cheddar and caramelized onions.

Transavantgarde, artists and art
(movement, 1980's)
Italian critic, Bonito Achille Oliva, coined this term for art-making that rejected the tenents of conceptual art and attempted to bring emotion—specifically the joy of creation—back into the process. By reviving figuration and symbolism, this group of artists, who came to prominence in the 80s, aimed to restore myth, mystery, and magic to contemporary art. This movement became well known in art circles and was appreciated for its bold decision to return to the roots of what makes mysterious, mystical art so appealing.

The main characters are very likable and grow during the series. There are some very endearing moments and you might shed a tear or two, but for the most part, it's a light hearted comedy.

text: NCBA: S. Korea FTA Needs to Address Full Beef Market Access Cattlemen group support launch of free trade agreement talks with South Korea but needs to see full re-opening of market to U.S. beef. Published on: Feb 7, 2006 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The United States is launching negotiations for a free trade agreement with South Korea, historically one of the largest export markets for U.S. beef. In 2003 alone, this export market for U.S. cattle producers was valued at over $815 million - the third largest export market. "Right now, U.S. cattle producers are cautious while still being subjected to South Korea's long-standing, unscientific ban on our most popular beef products for the past two years," says National Cattlemen's Beef Association President and Texas cattle producer Jim McAdams. "We support the launch of this free trade agreement with South Korea, and expect to see the full re-opening of this market to all U.S. beef, significant reductions of Korea's tariffs, and resolution of important sanitary and phytosanitary issues." South Korea closed its market to U.S. beef on December 24, 2003 after the U.S. discovery of a single imported cow with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. On January 13, 2006, negotiators reached an initial import protocol stating South Korea will accept U.S. boneless beef from cattle less than 30 months of age, but its ban on U.S. bone-in beef and variety meats remains - which historically accounted for roughly half of the total value of U.S. beef exports to South Korea. "NCBA members have been leaders in the promotion of reliable, free and fair trade across the globe," says Michelle Reinke, NCBA director of legislative affairs. "But we are disappointed that once again, at a time when breaking down international trade barriers is the way forward for producer growth and increased profit opportunities, an arbitrary restriction on U.S. beef exports remains." "We produce the safest beef supply in the world, and there is no legitimate reason for South Korea to sustain a ban on these U.S. beef products," says McAdams. "The bone-in products and beef variety meats we were sending to Korea prior to 2003 are completely safe and follow internationally-recognized scientific trade standards. We are disappointed this market is only partially reopened." South Korea was the 5th largest export market for U.S. agricultural products and the 7th largest overall for the United States in 2004. Historically, South Korea imports about 60-70% of its agricultural needs. In 2004, the total value of South Korean imports of agricultural products from all nations was $14.7 billion, and is estimated at $15.5 billion for 2005. "The trade agreement must assure all tariffs on U.S. beef be reduced to zero," says Reinke. "Right now, along with the partial ban on U.S. beef, South Korea imposes some of the highest tariffs on beef imports in the world, bound at 40%." "Cattle producers support the elimination of tariffs globally and advocate only science-based trade agreements," says McAdams. "We expect a U.S. - South Korea FTA to fully reopen the Korean market to all beef products, follow important market liberalization precedents set in other recent FTAs - such as Chile and CAFTA-DR - that will assure real market access for U.S. beef and beef products, and provide improved mechanisms to deal with SPS issues. All these must be resolved by the time this agreement is sent to Congress for final approval." "South Korea is a very important export market for U.S. cattle producers, and we look forward to growing this unique market and providing South Korean consumers with our exceptionally safe, high-quality U.S. beef products," says McAdams.

DETROIT - Thursday night, after the Michigan Tech men's basketball team took down Wayne State in Detroit 67-61 in overtime to move within a half-game of the Warriors for the GLIAC lead, Tech coach Kevin Luke used the word "battle" in his description of the contest for The Daily Mining Gazette no less than 14 times.
Wayne grabbed 19 offensive rebounds to make up for a 33 percent shooting night but Tech countered with 10 offensive boards of its own and 21-of-27 free throws.
Throw in 29 points and 14 rebounds from Ali Haidar - the GLIAC's ultimate low-post warrior - and the Huskies managed just enough to string their third straight win together against the other top three teams in the North Division.
"Let me tell you, that was a battle," Luke said in a phone interview. "They beat (Haidar) up the whole game. It was a really, really physical game. They just kept pounding Haidar. It was battle after battle after battle, and we won just enough of them."
With a tie game, Tech had the last chance to score in regulation, but Matt Esters and Alex Culy passed on good shots to search for great ones and the possession was squandered with a T.J. Brown desperation heave.
No matter, the Huskies kept their composure in overtime and took a four-point lead with less than two minutes to play after Culy knocked down his second three-pointer of the day. Strong free throw shooting was able to close the Warriors out.
"Shooters shoot," Luke said. "The ball went in to Haidar, he kicked it back out to (Ben Stelzer) and one pass to Culy and he nailed it. It gave us the breathing room we needed."
Senior guards T.J. Brown and Matt Esters both started the game for Tech - combining for 17 points and seven assists. Both hail from the Detroit area.
"It was the first time anyone on this team has won down there," Luke said. "I am really, really happy for those seniors."
